You measure it by counting how often people write about it in certain contexts. That seem to be "related" to popularity to me, but if you don't think so, that's fine, go your own way with my blessing.

To me, popularity implies being seen in a favorable light, whereas "notable" is more like the absolute value of popularity or un-popularity.
